Dad's new 'baby'

[Dawn]

My brothers would drool all over that. They each had a variety of scooters in their younger days.

This thread sure takes me back.
In my youth I had a Lambretta SX200 in the days of the Mods & Rockers.
To follow the trend, I adorned mine with loads of chrome fittings including 16 [yes 16] wing mirrors, font and rear carriers, roll bars etc.etc.
I rode it wearing my parka with the obligatory Union jack flag on the back.
Those were the days.

Oh foo!

All I ever had was a lousy Vespa and it got stolen!

Tom (... I'm so... what's the word? deprived... or depraved if you prefer )

I`m glad to see that we have another Mod amongst us Tom.....sorry about the theft though.

Did you have a fox tail on a whip aerial?

Yep, a false one I hasten to add.
It matched the fake fur around the hood of my parka.

So did my Dad! He was part of the 'Cloud 9' club.
